Haste vhere Danger leads the May I

Firm, tho^ fond, I 11 try to prove
M'orthy of a Hero's love.

Lo! thine eap^er hands draw near,
Still I check the starting tear
Thee tfiey call I — ^biit firm's my tone,
Duty I I am thine alone.

Aiid for me a pallid face

Xo \\inniiig charms discloses,
For tho Lillies hands may grace

Sure Cheeks \\ere hiade for, Roses :
Some too there are, odd tho** it be,

Meak, languid Nymphs desiring,
Yet I must oa*ti Health has for me

Attractions more inspiring.

Some the saucy turn d-up Nose

. Survey with eyes of pafsion ,

I the Grecian profile chuse

Or that of Roman fashion :
O^ers prefer Sldns white as Snow

And Trefses like the Morning,
I Ringlets prize, black as the Sloe

Clear Nut-brown skins adorning.

Stately charms some Swains require

7 hat awe into Affection,
Little Forms do I admire

That seem to claim protection-
I can't delight in aged eyes

That do not shine but twinlde,
Tho some there are wbo dimples prize

Far, far below a Wrinkle.

5
But tis well tastes disagree

Else ever Rivals proving ,
Men in Arms must skillful be

And w in the right of loving ^
Then let us all, otn' Fancies please

Without dispute or pother.
And, if we find one Damsel teas<»

^V'e can but woo another.

No, No, let's fill the sparkling Bowl,

Aivd let each joyous Soul
To Bacchus flutHful he;
Bacchus drives all Care away,
Anfl makes e'en Sorrow's features gtiy,
Then I'll to him my homage pay.
For He's the God for me .

3
No, — let us bend at Mu sicks shrine.

And leave the joys of Wine

O Harmony for thee j

Thine's the softly soothing art,

That blunts Affliction's pointed deu't,

And fVom its sorrows steals the heart

Then, — thine's ^e pow'r for me.

4
O give this strange illusion o'er.

Nor think tiiat Musicks pow'r
The heart from woe can free;
Musick cannot dry Hie tear
That Sorrow's trembling eye -lids bear,
liento J For tho"* the softest Strains I hear

Woe reigns supreme o'er me .

5

True, wlien the Strain is sad, and slow,

For sure AfHiction's brow
Still gloomier then must be;
Tempo Primo But ^e sprightly lays be mine ,

That boast the joys of Mirth and Wine,
All other Musick I resign

The Song, the Catch for me'.

6
Hold, shall our lips to Love alone
Refuse the votive tone
And Beauty slighted be J
I to Beauty's empire bow.
For not froin Wine or Musick flow
Such joys as Beauty can bestow

Then Love's the God for me I

7
No , now our Country wants our aid

Let's wield the hostile bkide
And her avengers be I
Hark tlie Trumpet calls to arms ,
Adieu to pleasures slothful charms ,
My breast a nobler worship warms
And War's the God for me.
